Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle visits a women's shelter in Canada as speculation continues in the U.K. over the couple's relationship with the queen.
After a few days out of the spotlight, Meghan Markle has stepped out for the first time since the historic "Megxit" announcement.

According to the center's Facebook page, Markle, 38, had tea and discussed issues women in the community are facing.

Markle has been staying in Canada with her 8-month-old son Archie, who she shares with her husband, Prince Harry.
Harry is currently in London following the "Sandringham Summit," a high-level meeting between himself, his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, his father, Prince Charles, and his brother, Prince William.
The meeting was called to discuss Harry and Markle's future roles in the royal family following their announcement to "step back" from their royal duties.
